"What's the matter?" Captain Mazi, who wrote in the reporter's notebook, asked his subordinates
"There are a lot of slaves and they are running around like sheep and cattle," said a scout cavalryman.
"That means they have no direction," Captain Mazi asked.
"Yes, it seems so," replied his man
"Oh" Captain Mazi's face is called Captain Mazi because of Mazi's relationship. Captain Mazi is very tall and tall. He was born as an infantry soldier, and after the Qin State disarmed the army, he entered the military academy because of his good performance. After a short period of study in the military academy, he was assigned to the military academy. The northern cavalry unit served as a trainee officer, platoon leader, and then company commander. The mobile combat in the north made him aggressive and aggressive.
"Order our people to rest well, we are ready to leave at any time," Captain Mazi gave the order like this
"Sir, aren't we defending our town?" the subordinate asked
"The defense of such a small town requires us to defend, just kidding." Captain Mazi said disdainfully. From the beginning, he had no plan to defend. To him, cavalry troops are not suitable for defense at all, and their nature does not like defense.
Defense is disaster for cavalry
"We are cavalry, not for defense but for offense." Captain Mazi said fiercely, then threw his whip and turned away.
"Then what should we do in this small town?" asked the mayor of the small town who also served as the local sheriff
"Lieutenant, please tell us what to do now." The mayor of the town asked politely
"We can't help it either." The lieutenant shrugged, and since he had given such an order, he could only do so.
"Didn't you hear? We are cavalry, not for defense." The lieutenant repeated the captain's order and said
After the lieutenant finished speaking, he turned and left. They have their own tasks and they don't care about the town.
"A bunch of bloody bastards," the town mayor cursed fiercely. For him, the safety of the town has been hit here.
"Your Majesty the Sheriff, what should we do?" asked the militia captain on the side
"What can we do?" said the militia captain
"We can only defend our town by ourselves." The mayor of the town said helplessly. The mayor of the town is a Confucian scholar who manages the town well, and he is gentle and elegant. He is a Confucian scholar from six countries. He was elected as the mayor of this small town because of an election in his forties. Since the state has great freedom, he can manage this town in his own way. This small town has become his personal fiefdom. Generally, he regards the town as his own. Now his life is threatened in his small town, he decided to defend his town at all costs, so from the beginning he put his hope on the temporary garrison in the town because it was the regular army of Qin State, but this Qin State He was not very satisfied with the performance of the regular army, because they should have defended the town, but the cavalry company has taken an offensive posture, and they don't care about the safety of the town at all.
"Why don't we sue them to the military court? This kind of thing should be handled by the military court." The militia captain on the side suggested
"The court-martial is very busy and they can't take care of it." The mayor of the town has always opposed the use of codes to manage the town, so he is extremely disgusted by the suggestion of the militia captain.
But considering the safety of the town, he's not opposed to court-martialing, but is the court-martial in charge, and is it useful now?
The answer is that obviously the military court can manage the matter, but at that time the army had already moved out of the small town, and the safety of the small town was still not guaranteed. Such things are not willing to be done by the small town growth.
"Even if we can control that the army is no longer in the town at that time, if the slave army kills us, our town will still cease to exist, so the safety of our town is still up to you to understand?" the mayor of the town told Jing.
"Now organize our militia and place barbed wire sandbags and trenches on the main roads of the town. We will rely on ourselves to resist the slave army."
"We can also request reinforcements by telegram," the militia captain continued.
"You don't need to ask. The telegrams are full of information about slave riots. Qin's army has already dispatched. It is impossible for us to get too many reinforcements here. Let's defend the town by ourselves," the mayor said at this time.
"We can try it," the militia captain insisted.
But the mayor of the small town turned around and left at this time. When he left, he kept waving his hands to signal no. They're not at all used to riots disrupting their lives like this.
The captain of the militia can only accept the facts and assemble his team to organize a defensive position to resist
"Hurry up, we're all assembled!" the militia captain shouted loudly, standing on the square. His heart was very heavy, because the cavalry company didn't care about the safety of the town at all. They insisted on launching an attack, and it was a bad thing for them. information
The militias are assembled in a very sluggish way, which doesn't look like an army. In fact, they are not an army at all.
More than 30 women stood in a line with their weapons. They are the women's platoon of this militia. Some of them didn't hold guns, and some of them just had pistols on their waists because they were women and their strength was weak. Only a few middle-aged women carry long guns
There are quite a few young figures in the team. They are teenagers in a small town. In their memory, they don’t know what war is or what it’s all about. Some of them are excited, while others show some nervousness. Gather them without any concept, just stand in vain and chat with each other
"Everyone is on their feet," the militia captain yelled under his anger, but the effect was not good, and the team was still sparse.
"Bang" Seeing such a scene, the militia captain finally got angry. He drew his gun and fired a shot into the sky, and the team slowly stood up at this moment. Only then did they realize that they seem to have entered a war zone.
"Everyone, listen to me." At this time, the mayor of the town stood up and said.
It was only at this time that people calmed down and heard the mayor say that the residents of the town respect the mayor of the town.
"Now the slaves are forming teams everywhere to slaughter us everywhere. They rob us of our property and insult women. Such barbarians need us to resist together."
"But the regular army of the Qin State needs to take the initiative to intercept and kill those compatriots who actively attack our other places. The regular army cannot protect our small town." Dao
"Ah, what about our safety? We are paying taxes and the regular army of the Qin State should protect us." The residents of the small town quickly discussed
"Be quiet, everyone, be quiet," the mayor of the town said loudly, but the residents are more concerned about the safety of their own town, but at the same time they put the responsibility on the regular Qin army
They think it is too wrong for the regular army at this time. They should flow down to protect the safety of the town. It is too wrong to leave at this time.
"Bang" I saw the mayor of the small town screaming loudly but did not stop the residents of the town from talking about the captain of the militia.
After the gunshots, the residents of the town finally calmed down. At this moment, they realized that they should listen to what the mayor of the town had to say.
"Since we can't rely on the regular army, we have to rely on ourselves. We still have hundreds of militiamen in our hands. We can rely on our strength to defend our town," said
"Ah!" The residents were in an uproar. They couldn't believe the result.
"Believe in ourselves, for the safety of everyone and for the sake of our homeland, we will definitely be able to defend our homeland," Dao said.
Although the residents of the town are unwilling to accept this fact, but the situation is like this, they can only accept that the next thing is that they have to defend, and then the militia captain began to try to arrange some fortifications.
Hundreds of people have to defend a small town against the attack of thousands of Huns who are bigger than them. The residents of the town are still a little unconfident. For this reason, they began to actively build fortifications for their own safety.
"Is the barbed wire enough?" A young man from New Qin State wiped his sweat and asked
"Our enemy is the Huns. They will ride on horses and brandish their knives to cut off your head and mine. Only these barbed wire fences can prevent them from rushing over. The more the better, the denser the better. Only in this way can we be safer." A native of Qin State said
"Oh that's it, then I can make as many barbed wires as possible." The young man continued to lay out the barbed wires because when he heard the head was cut off, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. It was only then that he felt that war was really far away Recently, a sense of fear came to him, which made him feel a little afraid. For his own safety, he decided to arrange more and more barbed wire fences.
In fact, the best weapon for defending the cavalry is the defensive position composed of barbed wire and machine guns. The crazy charge of the cavalry is undoubtedly suicide. Even a small number of Qin people can defend against the attack of a large cavalry army. There's a whole set of fortifications built along the border that even with a few men the Huns just can't get through it because those damn barbed wire stops their horses and the machine guns kill them any of them
The militiamen can't pin their hopes on the regular army, they can only quietly arrange their defensive positions, there is no combat manual to teach them how to install barbed wire and build various fortifications, they can only figure out by themselves
The militiamen put their hope on the fortifications, while the Qin regular army focused on how to eliminate more slave riots
"Tell me about the situation you have reconnaissed." Captain Mazi asked a cavalryman who had just returned from reconnaissance nearby.
"There is a group of slaves gathered at a ranch twenty miles to the east of us. Their number is about 500. They are setting fire to the warehouse there and it is estimated that they will stay there for a while," said the cavalryman.
At this time, Captain Mazi quickly marked it on the map.
"There is also a wave of slaves not far to the west of us. They are a little farther away. They are few in number, only more than 200 people. They are heading here," said the cavalry.
